Each of you should respond to the following in a separate Discussion space below:
The videos above provide insight into the way this playwright develops his work. They also provide insight into the relationship of the playwright and the actors that exists when preparing a play for public performance. Provide a summary of aspects of that relationship, especially paying particular attention to Video 5 which is amusing as well as informative. I expect a lengthy summary NOT a few idle sentences that generalize this important aspect of plays and play production. The program was recorded in The Drama Bookshop in New York City. It was from this bookshop that I selected the plays you have been reading this semester and is one of the few bookshops in America that focus almost exclusively on plays and books concerning play production.
